I like my strategy.
Wait until sometime after they deliver 25-30k of them, THEN put in a reservation.

For those who cancel because "its too much"... I applaud them for maintaining a strong sense of what is valuable to them.
For those who cancel because "the seats don't fold flat" or "it doesn't tow enough"... not so much applause.
Noone never had a reservation to start with , I predict .
I might go back and sit in the MS again but my wife and I both have bad knees (sports injuries, many surgeries between us) and climbing out of a low car is quite literally a pain.
A great response. Safety is a huge reason I am willing to withdrawal funds to purchase Model X. I have always wanted an electric car, and the Segway, Volt and Model S were a fantastic start to a maximum acceleration, torque filled, regenerative braking adventure that continues each day I drive electrically.The fact is this: Tesla Motors is a mere infant compared to the likes of GM, Ford etc. Having said that, (in my view) they are the most revolutionary addition to the automobile industry since Henry Ford introduced the concept of the assembly line on December 1st, 1913. 102 Years ago. Think about that for a second.
If you are discussing on this forum and in this thread then you likely have the means to purchase on of these vehicles which would allude to the fact that you likely have the intellect to understand the enormous up-hill battle that the company faces each and every day. Cancelling your MX order is perfectly fair - the wait has been long and the journey has been anything but smooth. I get that. But the reward is so much greater that we can possibly know.
At the end of the day, keep your order, cancel your order, change to a MS, it doesn't matter - Tesla makes the best vehicles in the world. Period.
For me, the argument is simple: If you have the means to consider buying a Tesla, then buy one. X or S, it doesn't matter. It is proven to be the safest car in the world. If there is a 0.001% chance that me driving a Tesla over my previous car could save my life or lessen my injuries - or those of my family and loved ones - in the event of an accident, then it is worth the money, the wait and everything else that comes with being a follower of the company and product.
Well after waiting over 2 years I decided to cancel my model X reservation yesterday. Called the main office and they did ask why I'm canceling? I told them its the lack of communication and the long delays helped make my decision. I was in the 6K for design and was told April till we see one for a test drive, making my delivery in the FALL? I was thinking January or maybe April at the latest...Not FALL!
I'm also thinking it's too much money for me to spend on a car! Love the company and I will continue to be an advocate/stock holder for the company and look forward to watching Tesla grow!
On Thursday I'm picking up my 2016 Volvo XC 90 (non-electric). Seems to be a very safe car (check out crash video it's amazing what it will do) with pilot assist and it's half the price loaded! It was named Motor Trend SUV of the year for 2016 (X was not in the running so who knows?) Extremely comfortable seats, second and third row seats fold down and with gas under $2 a gallon I pulled the trigger. I can now use the other half of the money I saved to help my son's family put down a payment on a town home.
I'ts been a long ride with Tesla (still have my jacket and I will take another look in a few years and see if I can make it work! Really enjoyed reading the threads and I would like to thank you for you help answering question and speculating on what's to come! Like I told Tesla it was my only source for updated news regarding the Model X. Guess I now need to join the Volvo Club page!
Signing out! Have a happy holidays...Go Elon!!!

I paid $1.81/gallon for gas this weekend - $20 to fill the tank - on the drive home from the Tesla store in NJ. Can't wait until my X arrives so I never have to sit in a stinky gas station again. Also can't wait to tell stories about them to my grand kids, since they won't have any idea what they are.I know not everyone is Eco conscious, but this sort of reasoning is kinda what's wrong with Am. consumers. Everything else you've listed as a reason for your cancellation totally makes sense, and seems to be the best decision for you.
Just leave the bit out about cheap gas, is all I'm saying.
I bet...after replacement, most people experience much less pain as you no longer have things like bone on bone contact because the cartilage is gone. We are both due for a knee replacement but are still "too young" yet.I have had both my knees replaced and keep my Model S in the low setting and do not have a problem getting in and out.
Especially if you drive a VW :biggrin: Too soon?But for me it is more about what you are spewing into the atmosphere.
I guess one could argue that many of the power plants used to produce the electricity to charge the car are coal based and aren't too eco friendly themselves.

I'm in the middle of coal heaven between KY & WV...lol

It about killed me to build a $1.3M house but I absolutely love it and a house is not a depreciating asset (long term).
